KFC isn't Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore...'cos legally KFC isn't allowed to call them chickens 'cos most of they're "chickens" are genetically enhanced beyond that of a normal chicken.
"Luck of heaven" Nintendo translates to is actually a gambling term. Horse races, playing cards, gambling, Yamauchi, gangs, Yakuza, etc.
